Ingredients

(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

For the burritos:

• 6 large flour tortillas
• 1 pound halal beef sausage
• 6 ounces Monterey Jack cheese, shredded
• 4 tablespoons Mexican crema
• 4 tablespoons butter

For the crispy hash browns:

• 3 medium russet potatoes, peeled and shredded
• 4 tablespoons beef tallow or butter
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

For the soft scrambled eggs:

• 6 large eggs
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• 1/2 teaspoon salt

For the pico de gallo:

• 1 pint grape tomatoes, halved
• 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
• 2 tablespoons red onion, finely minced
• 1/2 jalapeño, seeded and minced
• Juice of 1 lime
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

1. Preheat a large griddle or skillet over medium-high heat.
2. Prepare the potatoes by shredding them and squeezing out excess moisture using paper towels. This helps them become extra crispy while cooking.
3. In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, and salt until fully combined.
4. Make the pico de gallo by mixing the tomatoes, cilantro, red onion, jalapeño, lime juice, salt, and black pepper in a bowl. Set aside.
5. Add 2 tablespoons of beef tallow or butter to the hot griddle. Spread the shredded potatoes evenly over the surface and season with salt and pepper. Cook for about 5–7 minutes without stirring until golden brown and crispy.
6. Flip the potatoes carefully and add the remaining beef tallow. Continue cooking until the second side becomes crispy and golden.
7. Push the hash browns to one side and cook the halal beef sausage on the griddle. Break it apart with a spatula and cook until browned and fully cooked through.
8. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter on the cooler side of the griddle. Pour in the egg mixture and cook slowly, stirring frequently, until soft and fluffy.
9. Warm the tortillas slightly so they become flexible and easier to roll.
10. Assemble the burritos by adding scrambled eggs, cooked halal beef sausage, crispy hash browns, and shredded Monterey Jack cheese to the center of each tortilla.
11. Fold in the sides and roll tightly into burritos.
12. Melt the remaining butter on the griddle and place the burritos seam-side down. Toast for 1–2 minutes per side until crispy and golden.
13. Serve hot with pico de gallo and Mexican crema on top or on the side.
